Summary
"Zuko was accumulating epithets, and he wasn't sure how he felt about it.
"His friends, naturally, all found it hilarious. They already delighted in poking fun at the titles of his office, calling him 'Your Fieriness' or 'Your Fire Lordship' or even, when Aang was feeling particularly obnoxious, 'Flamey-o, (Sifu) Hotlord!' The new epithets were just more titles for them to play around with and give him grief about.
"Zuko did not find them amusing. Not, as his friends all claimed, because he took himself too seriously and didn’t know how to laugh at himself! The problem with the epithets was that he found them morbid—as if the world was trying to write his epitaph before he'd even died."

Summary
"Zuko had given Aang every argument he could muster for why he had to kill the Fire Lord. Ozai was dangerous. Ozai was unrepentant. He was determined to finish what his grandfather Sozin had started: to bring the whole world under his dominion. He would never even contemplate surrender. He was willing to sacrifice any number of innocent lives to achieve his aims. [...]
"In spite of all Zuko’s arguments, Aang held firm. All life was sacred, no matter how destructive or guilty. He would not kill.
"Zuko had one more argument held in reserve, but he wavered over whether he should use it."
